This game needs balancing...

[lokheed11]

How the bot can afford to buy 50% shares with 1 harvester and I have 4 and I lose... and the combat capture I cant afford to take over so they just take it back after I destroy it... Like I really played well in the opening but it seems dam impossible to win at this game... So frustrated.

Who do you played, against whom and was it AI? if so, on what difficulty?

While the game has indeed plenty of balancing issues, pretty much all games cheat a lot in higher difficulties, especially strategy games. On the other hand, it's not hard to gain victory against Ai in this game. When an enemy grabs a lot of shares, simply destroy him and the shares are yours for the taking. For of the time, only 1 enemy will get a LOT of shares so it's easy to counter a specific enemy in the end.

Hi,

I was house Atreides (Green) Vs red, yellow, blue. Med Difficulty (Stock Difficulty)

I tried assassination attempts on the smuggler (blue) but my agents would get captured so easily. While I have a 1% chance of capture I found my agents would just get captured so quickly and easily. Even by Red to which I did not have any of my agents assigned to.

As I am new to the game and not having played any other characters do they have abilities to capture enemy agents quickly or easily using Intel? (This drove me mad)

As pointed out, AI cheats a lot, but only on insane as far as I know. Assasinations have trouble of being extremely hard to pull off, unless you have stuff to support it and focus tech development in that regard (That being said, red, harkonnen, have the option to sacrifice an agent to just brute force assasination missions through), I am unsure if an assasination step can be done without detection and without agents being captured. Counter intelligence agents increase chance of agents being captured, but depends if AI uses them. My most useful advice would be to play a game as every faction, they all have their OP ♥♥♥♥ that is outright broken (atreides just throwing non-aggression pact just as you are about to attack them, fremen having OP-ass military and tons of authority, stuff like that). I rarely rely on agents on other factions so they dont get captured at all (Unless im focusing on assasination run that is). Also a small note, almost every operation you do has a chance of being detected and when it is, an agent has a chance to be captured. This depends on what op is being thrown where but as a rule of thumb the most basic ones (flagged as easy, supply drop and the like) can be detected, but agents cant be captured from them (unless the +% agent capture from some buildings and landsraad interact with them). That brings me to final point, wasnt the landsraad resolution that causes agents to have huge chance to get captured thrown at you?

Also, you can easily win CHOAM victory with just one harvester, people on the internet did it, I did it. You just need to abuse certain game mechanics (hark oppression OP)

Thanks for the detailed response Gallyx. Yes, I knew those risks when agents where captured. There was a time when I was not perusing anyone and people just ended up captured for some reason. I will round this up to my lack of experience in the game. I figure I need to have some more hours in before I list anything as a glitch or broken or unbalanced. Cheers mate.

it would depend on your faction, id think
